Background: To analyze the factors associated with tip malposition and spontaneous correction rate of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) in newborns.

Methods: Clinical data of 1604 newborns who underwent PICC placement in our neonatal surgery department from January 2018 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into malposition group (n=104) and normal group (n=1500) according to the occurrence of tip malposition.

Introduction: Central venous catheter-related bacteremia is a common nosocomial infection in intensive care units (ICU), the prevalence is worrying. In recent years, due to Covid-19, the number of central venous catether's patients, treated with immunosuppressive drugs, has been increased. Our objective was to determine the prevalence of central catheter bacteremia in ICU, during 2022, as well as to determine associated risk factors.

Unusual malposition of peripherally inserted central catheters into the thymic vein and middle thyroid vein: A case series.

Medicine (Baltimore)

Nursing Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, P.R. China.

Rationale: Correct catheter tip placement is the foundation for catheter utilization and the prevention of catheter-related complications. We describe 2 unusual peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) malpositions in the left thymic vein and the right middle thyroid vein, which are, to our knowledge, the first 2 cases of PICC malposition in these 2 veins.

Patient Concerns: Both patients had subtle clinical signs of catheter malposition on initial post-procedure chest X-ray radiography or during catheter duration.

Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) malposition is an underrecognized complication among neonatologists, especially when inserted in the lower extremity. In this report, we describe a rare abdominal wall complication of PICC placement through the saphenous vein in an extreme preterm, manifested clinically by hypoglycemia and a seemingly abdominal wall abscess. It was only after a lateral X-ray cross-table view of the abdomen that the abdominal wall collection was found to be a total parenteral nutrition (TPN) content extravasation, as the PICC tip was located inside the abdominal wall, which mandated its immediate removal.
